and have you got any recommendations for a decent fish forum, that is friendly?
I have recently got back into the hobby - have collected so much stuff over the years it is relatively cheap option so sort of moneysaving. Plus some days the best thing to do is sit by your pond/fish tank and have a cup of tea! I do love watching them
Trouble is I can't find any like minded people! it's all a bit snobby and their way or the highway. Or scientific and frankly boring!
(and yes I do test water and understand the cycle and that no3 should be below 40 (in my case below 20) am not an idiot I promise:) )
thanks for any suggestions

It was the number 1 rated Google hit for tropical fish a few years ago. It was offline for a while due to site issues so is pretty quiet these days but is starting to pick back up and they're a good bunch over there.Egg Loan - [strike]£4921.84[/strike] £0!! :j Barclaycard - £3866.47 Legal + Trade - [strike]£2700.96[/strike] £0!! :j Triton - [strike]£1730.89[/strike] £0!! :j Next - [STRIKE]£776.15[/STRIKE] £126.88 Littlewoods - [strike]£217.16[/strike] £0!! :j Housemate - [strike]£1300[/strike] £0!! :j Capital One - [STRIKE]£1652.51[/STRIKE] £1,081.58 Vanquis - [strike]£2337.75[/strike] £375.58

i also like fishlore, as although mostly american based they are pretty friendly and lots of information availableDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
